The Little Pool


The temperature hit 90+ this weekend! It's hard to believe that it SNOWED (and a lot) at the beginning of the month. Needless to say, the kids were thrilled to pull out our summer outdoor toys, including their "pool". They love their little pool, even if they can't move an inch when they are all in there. It will be nice to start "living" outdoors.

Two bugs in a rug.. 2004 and 2009


The other night when I went to check on the kids before bed.. this is what I found. Two five year olds snuggling together in Abbey's bed. Andrew has been scared of the dark lately and decided to find comfort next to his twin. It reminded me of the two of them together in the incubator in the NICU. Abbey's bed is a toddler bed(meaning it has a crib sized mattress) so it is amazing that they both fit. Yes.. I know we need to buy a big girl bed!

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt

Last Saturday, our neighborhood had a huge Easter egg hunt for all of the residents. They basically spread thousands of plastic eggs all over the grass and let the kids have at it. It is sectioned by age group so the little ones have a fighting chance. After the egg hunt, they had a petting zoo, moon bounce, giant slide, and the Easter bunny. The kids had a blast. As a side note, I have yet to get all three kids to look at the camera at the same time!

Easter Preschool Parties

The kids had Easter parties last week at school. Allie had hers on Thursday and Andrew and Abbey on Friday. This was the first time I had the dilemna of trying to be two places at one time. My friend Cyndi came and we each took a party and then switched half way through. I think they thought it was special to have a family friend visit their school. Allie wanted to wear her Easter dress complete with its matching hat. such a little lady!
Abbey made the cutest bunny ears but they kept slipping down over her eyes.


Andrew wanted to dress up too.. He looked so sweet in his little sweater.
